i can play this u kno. been practicing the last month. not as good as him yet tho and can only play the bit up to the end of the first credits. the music i play from is wrong tho
This is insanely ridiculous! Its been a decade now since this video have been posted and still at 1M views?? Oh com'on people this is by far the most perfect zero mistake starwars piano cover ever existed in youtube and no other pianist i think can surpass the level of awesomeness.
I'm the guy that other people think can play, then I watch this and it just reminds me I am a hack. You sir, are a jedi master on that piano and this is arguably the greatest Star Wars medley I've heard.
Seeing a performance like this is incredible! But, think for a second about the man who CREATED this piece. This is out of this world! John Williams is an absolute genius!
yo i can say you're the best piano player i've ever heard in my life. i never even knew it was possible to play like tht. it's like u translated the wholer orchestra into your notes. i'm good at the piano but u make me look shit. i like seeing someone like u cos it sets me a target of how good i need to get.
This is my favourite piano version of Star Wars on TH-cam. Some pianists are incredibly arrogant and they throw in so many fancy notes that have nothing related to the score, but when you play it is faithful to the score. You deserve more views.
yeah the other ones on youtube are shit. playing some non existing fancy notes that make me click x. this version i been learning for around a month now. no way as good as this but its getting better. u can c on my page:
@@yordankaacosta2849 bruh u cant get that arrangement. I have spent like 7 months working out that arrangements from different arrangements around the internet and playing by ear. I researched into eric levine and apparently he came up with this from different arrangements he already knew in his head and there is no manuscript for this. Im almost finished tho i have learned up to one minute and 141 seconds which is exactly the samr as how he plays it except not as fluent. Also i changed a couple of parts in their to sound more like the film. Theres are a couple of scripts im the comments but they have different notes and some of the notes sound off. I have corrected those also. I have a version on my page but its not ad good as how i can play it now and i can play more also. When i master it i will make a video.
One of the few piano videos that makes me tear up at the end. It was played so flawlessly; I'm not an expert or anything, but I couldn't hear a single mistake. ;O
After having absolutely no luck finding this exact version on paper, I finally downloaded one that's similar to yours. I have two problems... - it doesn't sound quite like yours, but it's close. - all scanning software finds it too complicated to transcribe accurately. I have started transcribing it, note by note, on Finale Songwriter. I should be finished in a couple weeks, but no promises. I will post a megaupload link for all to enjoy as soon as I'm finished. Music for All!!!
I see we have some Star Trek nerds here disliking this video. Brilliantly played, you need to be a pianist to understand how much work goes into such a piece just to memorise, get the technique down and up to speed and then play in a musical way without messing up.
@@HANDSWORTHMAGIC thanks for all the compliments. I hate it when people react totally out of bounds after they have been helped totally voluntary. If you would have taken the trouble to check the reactions on the video you would have seen that the link is posted in the reactions. Enjoy your day
@@toonwijnandsbro they are not the right notes in the linm to what eric levine is playing. Someone else posted a transcript it had a few alternate notes in there but i was able to correct the notes as a good 90 percent was accurate
Eric, this is the best arrangement for piano of the Star Wars theme on TH-cam. Please, on behalf of all pianists and force-users on TH-cam, please could you make this arrangement available on musicnotes.com? I would both love to play it and support you.
@@Dan-eu6sj You can have it for free! I have uploaded the finsished PDF Version on Mediafire. The transcription follows Erics performance by ~98%. Some small changes were made because of my own interpretation and understanding of the original orchestral score. I added some tempomarkings at the spots which feature drastic changes of tempo. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or difficulties. You can download the score here: www.mediafire.com/file/tdctao7hgi3dkx2/Star_Wars_Main_Theme_Version3.pdf/file
Probably not very long. He plays by ear very well. He could play "Let it Go" from Disney's Frozen within a few months of the debut. I know this because he played it at my house when he visited. He's my uncle, so I hear him play often.
@@nilen hey it's me from the future. i really underestimated how fast he learns stuff. he learned let it go in WAY less than a few months. no idea why i thought it was that long lmao
i love the video because it is the best piano youtube performance ever uploaded. Especially the first one and half minute of epic and incredibly thorough reflection of the orchestra.
I've revisited this so many times over the years. It's incredible. Such a supreme arrangement.
I also revisit about once a year. Should come back on may the 4th 😂
I am exactly in the same situation
Yeah me too, basically since 2009 when I found this.
i can play this u kno. been practicing the last month. not as good as him yet tho and can only play the bit up to the end of the first credits. the music i play from is wrong tho
@@HANDSWORTHMAGICWhere did you find this specific arrangement?
Probably the most under-appreciated piano video on all of TH-cam. Deserves millions of views.
Agreed
agreed!
Exactly,, try find ANY other video/pianist that plays this song in this calibre, on here..
*poof* here is ur wish
I agree! This is quality!
Not a single Mistake he did.. incredible, its perfect !
THE FORCE IS WITH HIM !
at 0:45 he hits a wrong key. I don't care this comment is 2 years old.
here is a daily dose of cringe: may the 4th be with you
@@j4nssent477 that note was intentional. I don't care this comment is 2 years old.
@@j4nssent477 if you don't care then don't comment
@@Znjed0 i dont care this comment is 2 years old. and i have nothing else to say.
The force is strong with this one.
This must be the best arrangement I've ever heard. 4 years since the first time I heard it and I keep coming back. Amazing.
And 4 years since you made this comment :D
This is the performance you're looking for.
QuantumBraced "Move along".
@@Ih8kone you move along creep
This is truly one of the most incredible piano performances on TH-cam, I've been listening to it for 15 years.
This is an awesome piHano Solo!
How does this comment not have more likes??
***** 60th :D
74th...
MrPrender82 My guess is that it is because it is a rather terrible pun...
MrPrender82 80th :)
To this day, there isn’t a piano cover that even comes CLOSE to how good this one is!
He is the chosen one!
10 years and still being the best starwars piano performance on youtube
This is insanely ridiculous! Its been a decade now since this video have been posted and still at 1M views?? Oh com'on people this is by far the most perfect zero mistake starwars piano cover ever existed in youtube and no other pianist i think can surpass the level of awesomeness.
It should be more famous than pop stars i think
I'm the guy that other people think can play, then I watch this and it just reminds me I am a hack. You sir, are a jedi master on that piano and this is arguably the greatest Star Wars medley I've heard.
ZenProAudio I'm the girl in the same boat.
Now this is old school TH-cam; back when you had to rely on talent to make good videos. You did an incredible job. Keep up the fantastic work.
Still the best and most faithful and accurate 2 handed piece on youtube. ❤
far better than the others star wars piano cover on yt! good job!
yeah
Ashen Videos Inc i dont like that ehm graphic effect .this video is for me more natural
Ashen Videos Inc in this way of look you have right - jarrods version is more creative but still I think that R2D2 should be muted
This version is awesome and clear, much better than jarrods version in my opinion. I love also kyle landry version.
You forgot the power of Jarrod Radnich
I've revisited this so many times over the years. It's incredible.
Seeing a performance like this is incredible! But, think for a second about the man who CREATED this piece. This is out of this world! John Williams is an absolute genius!
Sir you are entirely wrong, it's the INSANELY talented prodigy who can bring to life someones idea that is the true genius!
The time flies , and this is still the most amazing performance I’ve ever seen on TH-cam !!!!!
Melissa Cando I know right?! This sounds spot-on!!
Wow
Holy shit this guy is amazing!!!!

Super Saiyan Goku Why is it I always see your posts on TH-cam? lol
Probably because I spend too much time on TH-cam, haha.
well, there is one spot that may be a mistake but idk if it is
Flawless performance. He is a Jedi.
I've probably listened to this 100 times in the last 10 years, amazing. The Force is strong with this one.
Still the best version after all these years.
BEST EVER PIANO VERSION!!!
BRILLIANT!
I can’t even remember the first time I saw this, I’m an adult now and this was a video I saw as a child. Incredible to say the least.
Best performance out there. Period.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! This video brought me to tears!!
This is by far the best star wars piano arrangement ive ever heard.
RIP Carrie Fisher.
“Sir, The odds of successfully navigating the epic Starwars compositions are approximately 3720 to 1!”
Never tell us the odds!
Still drop in here every year or so to hear an arrangement I could never play...cheers man!
Best piano video ever and it's underated
Nice job Eric! You've always been that good even when we were little!
That's PERFECT !! :D
Arigatoh SO MUCH for sharing this wonderful piece ! :)
I'm wondering how many years it'll be til this is on everyone's recommended
Criminally, criminally underrated video. 11 out of fucking 10 👌👌👌👌
Wow. This the most perfect transcription and interpretation I haver seen.
one of my favourite videos on youtube
Wow! That was fabulous. I am almost speechless. Bravo!
This is absolutely incredible. By far, the best transcription and performance of the Star Wars overture.
